Paginated report - nested tables with different datasets

I need to have a table in a cell of another table because second table is a details table. The details are coming from a different dataset. Is it possible to make it work without putting all the data together?

 

Thanks

Hi, @Markzolotoy 

 

This tutorial can solve your problem very well: Create a paginated report with a Power BI shared dataset - Power BI Report Builder - Power BI | Micr...  You can refer to it patiently.

According to your description, You need to create the relationship in desktop and create a summarize table,then copy the query to report builder.

Hi!

Unfortunately you can work only with single dataset for a group in a tablix, you may though use lookup to get values from another dataset. If you can provide more details on your datasets and end Visual targeted sketch then maybe could suggest something !
